But, when the splits start to get ridiculous, they become worth our attention. While we may not be able to find a source for the bigger splits, we can keep them in the back of our mind when setting lineups. Washington Capitals power play (45.2 percent conversion at home, 8.8 percent on the road): First […]
Continue readingTarasenko has been a consistent contributor of 2.2 fantasy points per game (FPPG) for a couple of seasons now. At that pace, he would project for a further 66 fantasy points this season, which slots him in at No. 55 among all skaters. Of course, that is assuming he can recapture his usual pace quickly, […]

Create or join a league today >> Vincent Trocheck, C/RW, Carolina Hurricanes (94.8%): Let’s say you’re dominating in other aspects. Perhaps, for example, a combination of players are wiping your league’s fantasy floor […]
Continue readingHits and blocked shots, however, are less likely to ebb and flow for the non-elite fantasy assets. The same is somewhat true of shots. They are stats that can be collected by a player for fantasy points independent of deployment. Not completely independent, mind you, but to an extent, taking those actions doesn’t rely on […]

While his 12.00 fantasy points per 60 minutes (FPP60) is more than double what he’ll end up with eventually, I’m less apt to shrug it off as a streak you should ignore. The chief reason for that is because, while his […]

Continue readingBased on current season fantasy points per 60 minutes (FPP60), games remaining for each club and each goaltender’s timeshare percentage in their team’s crease, only four goaltenders are projected to accumulate more than 100 points from this stage forward. And of those four, fantasy managers could only feel really good about Andrei Vasilevskiy and Semyon […]
Continue readingIf we take a player’s fantasy points per game (FPPG) and multiply it by the number of games they have left, that’s how much fantasy value they have remaining — again, assuming a static pace forward (which we know isn’t the case). Join or create a league in the No. 1 Fantasy Hockey game, and […]
Continue readingStill, the longtime general manager understands there’s some serious retooling necessary following a second straight playoff flameout. The issue isn’t just that the Penguins have lost nine of their past 10 postseason games. It’s the way in which they have lost them that’s left Rutherford “puzzled.” The fight that defined the group that won consecutive […]
Continue readingWhile there was some brief confusion about where statistics from the qualification round would end up, they’re now playoff stats and the regular-season numbers are set in stone. Hence, we got the news that the stat-based regular-season awards for 2019-20 have been decided, with Leon Draisaitl taking home the Art Ross Trophy for most points, […]
